Terms and Conditions: Access to E-Resources

Systematic and programmatic downloading of a large amount of information from the same journal/database is strictly against the Copyright Act 98 of 1978, as amended. It is also a violation of the Terms and Conditions of the licensing agreement with the Publisher. The definition of misconduct in the Disciplinary Code: Students, specifically includes the infringement of copyright. A contravention of this Code will constitute misconduct and will be referred to the Disciplinary Committee (Students) for a hearing. If this Committee finds you guilty, it will impose a disciplinary measure that it deems fit in the circumstances. Such disciplinary measure could for instance include an expulsion from the University for a period of time.
